First, you have to get each other's distance after 2 hours:North: d=st=30(2)=60East: d=st=40(2)=80Then, you have to apply Pythagorean Theorem in order to get the distance r^2 = a^2 + b^2 = 60^2 + 80^2 = 3600 + 6400=10 000Get the square root of 10, 000 to get r= 100 km.

8:00 pm they start to part ways, and the question is how many kilometers apart after 10:00 pm, so the one that traveling north with a rate of 30kph (kilometer per Hour)using that rate we multiply it by two because the difference of 8:00 and 10:00 is 2hours. so the distance of the bus that traveling north from the starting point is 60km. the same thing with the bus that travels east, multiply it and it obtain 80km far from the starting point. so not using an illustration you form a right angle. to get the distance of the two, use the pythagorean theorem (c^2 = a^2 +b^2)

Let a = distance of bus traveling north from the starting point which is 60kmand b = distance of bus traveling east from the starting point which is 80km

The formula of volume is side x side x side (or edge x edge x edge)Since the volume is to be in the form cubic inches, we need to convert all the measurement in inches: 1.5 feet = 1.5 x 12 inches = 18 inches 1 1/2 feet is the same as 1.5 feet = 18 inches 3 inches is already in inchesThen just multiply the measurements = 18x18x 3 = 972 cubic inches

# 6 ==> 5 different counting numbers, the average is 100, what is possible highest number of one number?Trial and error po.

First determine the total of the 5 numbers.Since the average is 20, it suggests that the total of the 5 numbers is 100 ( because 100/5 = 20)If we try 90, the total of the remaining 4 numbers should equal 10 ( 100 - 90 = 10)Find 4 different numbers that totals 10 ==> 1, 2, 3, & 4 = 10So the 90 is the highest possible number of one number in the group.

Hi! I think you just added 60kph + 80kph, tama ba? That only works if the two vehicles left in OPPOSITE directions. :) For this problem, you need to find the HYPOTENUSE of the triangle formed by the two buses. The distance traveled by each bus represents the legs of the triangle. Applying the PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM, you get 100kph. That's basically just the square root of (60^2 + 80^2). ^_^
